92. Al-Layl

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ﴿١﴾

By the night enshrouding

وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ﴿٢﴾

And the day resplendent

وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ﴿٣﴾

And Him Who hath created male and female

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ﴿٤﴾

Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends)

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ﴿٥﴾

As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)

وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ﴿٦﴾

And believeth in goodness

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ﴿٧﴾

Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease

وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ﴿٨﴾

But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent

وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ﴿٩﴾

And disbelieveth in goodness

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ﴿١٠﴾

Surely We will ease his way unto adversity

وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ﴿١١﴾

His riches will not save him when he perisheth

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ﴿١٢﴾

Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ﴿١٣﴾

And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ﴿١٤﴾

Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire

لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى﴿١٥﴾

Which only the most wretched must endure

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ﴿١٦﴾

He who denieth and turneth away

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى﴿١٧﴾

Far removed from it will be the righteous

ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ﴿١٨﴾

Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness)

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ﴿١٩﴾

And none hath with him any favour for reward

إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ﴿٢٠﴾

Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ﴿٢١﴾

He verily will be content
